Sport C has quite a bit activity! Things are looking up for the growing quickly class. New boat builders are coming out of the woodwork.
 Tabara Racing will have 2 entrees. The first driver will be veteran hydro driver Giovanni Tonti. The other boat has yet to be completed/unveiled.

 Ron Davies has thrown his hat in the ring on building sport c boats!

 A visit this winter over to Mark Nelsons shop says that the Kankakee based team will be continuing their experiment on the flying red machine!

 On the rumor front; Tabara Racing is also working on importing brand new 40C engines. These would be sold to APBA members only. Information will be posted as we learn more.

Sport C's looking good for 2005 here in the midwest! Increased rookie participation is looking like the way of 2005. With Alyssa Petroni coming back for her second race of the year her boat will be greatly appreciated.
 Tabara Racing's sponsored entree of Giovanni Tonti will make his debut in the 2005 season driving a Gran Prix powered Nissan. 
 Jeff Tolcott of Michigan will also be planning on hitting a couple races this next season getting his feet wet. 
 The class also has had 2 other real interested parties in driving in the very near future. Things are looking great for the sport c class! Good number of boats will be seen here in TCPBA Region 8.

Sport C's had a great year of racing this season. Rookie driver Matt Barrett was the high point rookie this season. However, at Moose Lake MN there was another Rookie driver showcased, and she's fast!

 Alyssa Petroni of Kankakee IL, piloted her Petroni Racing number 11 boat to her first finish. She did very well, everyone in the class is going to have to keep an eye on her. The Petroni team has many years of experience with her dad driving throughout the 90's.

Next season we are expected to have yet even more increased driver participation in the class. 

The Tabara Racing camp once again will be have a new driver out there. Giovanni Tonti, a former inboard driver will be piloting a Gran Prix powered boat. He is eagerly waiting for the next season to start!
